2 THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION

3 CHARLES DARWIN : 1809-1882 ENGLISH NATURALIST
TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD ON THE BEAGLE – FAMOUS IN THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS OBSERVED MANY SPECIES AND FOSSILS WHY DID SOME SPECIES SURVIVE WHILE OTHERS BECAME EXTINCT? PUBLISHED “ON THE ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES” MAKING THE CASE FOR EVOLUTION NATURAL SELECTION

4 —Charles Darwin from "The Origin of Species"
Used by permission of Darwin Day Celebration (at DarwinDay.org), 2006 I have called this principle, by which each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term Natural Selection.   —Charles Darwin from "The Origin of Species"

14 MECHANISMS FOR EVOLUTION
DO POPULATIONS OR INDIVIDUALS EVOLVE? WHAT IS A GENE POOL HOW CAN THE GENE POOL CHANGE? MUTATION GENETIC DRIFT GENE FLOW WOULD THESE THINGS EFFECT A LARGE POPULATION OR A SMALL POPULATION MORE?
